Penhaligons

Well must say a little (well a lot) disappointed with my Penhaligons soap in a bowl as after only 7 weeks the lid has warped so much so it will not even stay on the bowl, Has any one else had this problem?

The soap is great very easy to build a great lather. I have the Blenheim Bouquet and its very nice if maybe a little over priced but it was a gift. The only big issue is the bowl, I have just spoken with the company and they have said to send it back for them to look at. Which I think is a little poor as I will be with out soap

Thank you for replying to my post.

I see the bowl is wooden? It should not be that it looses it's shape so fast, probably it was faulty or something (breakage of lacquer or not properly soaked into impregnating oil).

You need not to stay without the soap - send them just the bowl for inspection and put the soap in some plastic container and use it until replacement bowl arrives.

I am also sucker for bowls but reality is that most of the time plastic containers work maybe even better. True, not so nice on eyes but functional.

But if you buy something thats for use in bathroom and its not fit for the purpose under which it was sold then you have the right of complaint, As you would not accept a razor that did not shave, So even if the soap inside the dish is good why except a inferior bowl after all this is a product which is supposed to be high end and I don not think its to much to ask for the complete item to be of the stander to which you are paying for?

Of course you have the right of complaint and I don't think anyone will deny you this right, my point was just that bowl per se is not of significant relevance, at least I have learned from my experience that it is just not important.

I have L'Occitane bowl that makes, otherwise beautifully smelling soap, stink at the metal it's made from and Muehle wooden bowl which, while not warping like yours, is still pretty much useless. So, as far as I am concerned, no more flashy bowls, no matter how high end soap may be.

For a real high end experience, if using just one soap, I would have a custom made ceramic bowl by Georgetown Pottery or someone else and not some cheaply made wooden bowl made in China (there is nothing high-end in that). And, for even more real high end, get a matching scuttle. Yummy!
